  • Football roundup: Kit Carson wins rematch of 6-man title game vs. Stratton/Liberty

    (Gabriel Christus/Denver Broncos)

    Stratton/Liberty was clinging to a 14-12 lead over Kit Carson in the waning moments of the first half.

    Then Kit Carson scored just as the second quarter ended to take a 18-14 lead at the break. And they kept scoring, going up 40-14 after three quarters, and eventually securing a 48-14 win.

    The Wildcats scored 38 unanswered points, including a 30-0 margin in the second half.

    “The first half, we had a lot of mental lapses,” Kit Carson coach Curt Connelley told the Colorado Preps Scoreboard Show. “We had, it seemed like, about 10 penalties. The second half we put things together and had a great run.”

    Jayden McCombs-Farmer helped lead the way for Kit Carson with 155 yards rushing and two touchdowns, and a defensive effort that had him all over the field. Sullivan Farmer also threw three touchdown passes, and Peter Hornung had a receiving score.

    It means the second-ranked Wildcats will likely take over atop the polls for preseason No. 1 Stratton/Liberty. It also means Kit Carson got some measure of revenge for last year’s 6-man championship game, which Stratton/Liberty won by defeating the Wildcats.

    “It was one of the main things we kept talking about: Last time were were at Stratton, we got our butts whipped a little bit,” Connelley said.

    Jarret Lichty, Stratton/Liberty’s top offensive weapon and the returning player of the year in 6-man, missed the game with an MCL sprain.

    In the loss, Trevor Frank had a rushing score and a receiving touchdown for Stratton/Liberty.

    4A: (8) Pueblo South 49, (9) Holy Family 25

    Pueblo South has grown into a more experienced team this season, and it showed in their opener.

    The Colts, who started the 2018 campaign 0-4 with a young roster, began 2019 with a huge top-10 win. Jackson Dickerson had two receiving scores, and returned a punt for a touchdown, and Logan Petit threw three touchdown passes for the Colts.

    “Just really proud of the way our kids played, such good effort,” Pueblo South coach Ryan Goddard told the Scoreboard Show. “We turned them over a few times, which was key for us defensively. Our kids on the defensive side played really well.”

    Of his offense, Goddard said, “We played pretty efficiently on offense. We had a little trouble getting going on the ground game, but having an experienced quarterback was helpful for us. … We spread the ball around and had some success through the air, then got the running game going.”

    Pueblo West got a huge statement win to open the season, on the road, no less — and they started early.

    The Cyclones scored on their first two plays from scrimmage, built a 35-0 lead, and then rolled to a top-10 win.

    “We really challenged our kids to start fast, and they did that,” Pueblo West coach Clint Buderus told the Scoreboard Show. “It was a good way to start. The kids have put in a lot of work in the offseason, and they were ready to go.”

    Chandler Mason had four total touchdowns for Pueblo West, including a 65-yard rushing touchdown on the team’s opening play from scrimmage, and a 93-yard passing touchdown on their second.

    Dawson Menegatti had two scores, one receiving and another on a fumble recovery.

    5A: (6) Eaglecrest 30, Highlands Ranch 20

    (Gabriel Christus/Denver Broncos)

    It was a great debut for new coach Shawn Marsh and his son, Max, Eaglecrest’s starting quarterback.

    Max Marsh, who transferred over from Grand Junction Central when his dad was hired in the offseason, accounted for three touchdowns — two rushing and one passing — as Eaglecrest broke open a 13-13 tie in the second half and start off its season 1-0.

    “He had a couple of big runs, and made some plays,” Shawn Marsh said on the Scoreboard Show. “It ended up being a good night.”

    Eaglecrest built a 13-7 lead at halftime, and then Highlands Ranch tied it at 13-13 following their opening drive of the second half when Jake Rubley threw his second touchdown of the day. Both went to Konor Lathrop.

    Madj Barakat gave Eaglecrest the lead, this time for good, later in the third quarter when he stripped Rubley of the ball at the 30-yard-line and returned the fumble for a score.

    Eaglecrest sealed the game with a screen play on 4th-and-5 from the Highlands Ranch 28 that brought the ball inside the 10 with two minutes to play.

  • Kit Carson’s small-town environment provides a memorable game day experience to its football team

    (Gabriel Christus/Denver Broncos)

    Roughly 20 minutes after journeying southbound from the junction of Colorado Highways 94 and U.S. Route 287, passing cars roll into a small community that houses a dominant football program.

    It’s not the kind of football that fans would immediately think of when attending game. An 11-man lineup for one stereotypical team is nearly enough to for a full roster on both sides of the ball in Kit Carson.

    The Wildcats are coming off a banner year that was just one win shy of a 6-man state championship.

    It’s no secret that 6-man football doesn’t look like the same game as 11-man at times, but to the kids donning purple and yellow each weekend, it’s a game that is every bit as structured as the 11-man version that most people are used to seeing.

    “A lot of people just think it’s a lot of running,” running back Joe Bryan said earlier this month at Fall Sports Media Day hosted by the Denver Broncos. “They don’t see much because there aren’t as many people (on the field). But it’s something we’re used to and it’s really fun to us.”

    In many ways, 6-man football is a fun experience for everyone involved. Fans, kids and parents waste no time in talking about what makes it, in some ways, better than the 11-man game.

    “A big guy can catch the ball and run with it whenever he needs to,” lineman Brock Weiand said with a big smile on his face.

    Like any organized level of high school athletics, 6-man football is played on a regulated field under the eye of certified officials. There are rules to abide by and penalties to be called when those rules are broken.

    At times the game can look like a neighborhood pick-up game that feels like it can break out at any time while driving through small town after small town on the way to Kit Carson.

    For the Wildcats, the experience of playing 6-man football isn’t tied strictly to the game itself. This is small town football. Hollywood films based around high school football often depicts towns shutting down in anticipation of a big-stakes game.

    In Kit Carson, it’s a reality. The games are events and parties for those in the town and even the players that will take the field.

    “The day before a game we started having team dinner,” senior David Arnold said. “We go to someone else’s house and we just have a lot of fun there.”

    Parents are preparing ahead of time as well. The 6-man version of football isn’t played in a newly built stadium. Often times, the only thing that will separate the field from the outside world is a chain link fence.

    That means spectators have the ability to watch from seats far more comfortable than wood or metal bleachers.

    “There will be games where cars are parked by the field days before the game,” senior Brayden Bogenhagen said. “People go and get their spots for sure.”

    Flashing lights and car horns might accompany a touchdown celebration. Cordell Farmer explained that his dad often watches games from behind the goal posts and can make eye contact with each player who makes it into the end zone. Sometimes he might get in on the celebration.

    When the final seconds tick off the clock, it doesn’t always mean the fun is over. Not once in 2018 did the Wildcats lose on their home field. And that often prompted celebrations from fans and students alike. But in a small town, there isn’t chaos to be had all over the place.

    It’s easy to gather in one central location and enjoy not just the win, but the weekly work that went into it.

    “One of the things we started is called the fifth quarter, which our church on main street puts on,” Bogenhagen said. “We go down there after our game and get snacks and some meals. We get to go down there and play some games and be with the other students. It’s a good time.”

    It’s the end of a week-long event. What Kit Carson does is unique to its community, but small towns throughout the state have similar build ups and celebrations. It’s part of what makes all levels of high school football special.

    A championship doesn’t have to be won in Mile High Stadium for it to have a special feeling. Sometimes, winning on that small field in a manner that looks like an organized pick-up game can leave a lifelong impact on the kids who are playing and the community they are playing for.
